Ben wants to get a 94 in math class. His grade will be the average of two test scores. He scored an 89 on the first test. What grade does Ben need to get on his second test to meet his goal?

Ben needs to get a 99% on his second test

Step-by-step explanation:

The average is the sum of both test scores, divided by the total number of test scores (2).

Let x by the grade Ben must receive on his second test.

(89 + x)/2 = 94

Multiply by 2 on both sides

89 + x = 188

Subtract 89 on both sides

x = 99

Check work:

(89 + 99)/2 = 188/2 = 99
